CH. 04 -- CELEBRATION-ENGAGEMENT:
Prologue:
This is CH. 04 of my first erotic story and Literotica submission. I continue being indebted to Candy_Kane54 for providing editing, style advice, and general encouragement for my writing "Lost Girls Find Life."
Our story portrays "Love of Life and Lesbian Romance," however it is not an actual sex story. There will be sex in some chapters. Remember the girls' closing statement in CH. 01, which was "When Absolute Love Arrives," sex is certain to follow!
CONTINUED FUN WEEKEND:
After they cuddled and rested most of Saturday afternoon, the girls met for dinner in the early evening. They were dressed casually in skirts and tops, although planning to order dinner in. Jai had communicated with her mom, Sarah, while Pam had updated her and '2's' parents regarding their weekend activities.
The four girls planned to spend a quiet evening at home, enjoying Japanese food and listening to relaxing music. They usually attended Sunday School and Morning Worship at St. John's on Sundays, followed by any other special church activities being held that day. Their plans for this Sunday were to simply attend the morning service, then immediately return home to discuss life plans for the coming weeks.
Jai and the girls intended to visit Jacksonville for a long weekend of fun once the Group Home was open for six months. At that point, the GPS monitors would be removed from the resident's ankles. This would be quite a busy time for everyone since the Group Home Onsite School, organized by Pam, would cease operations. The young residents would transfer to the fully accredited St. Johns primary day school. The girls would awaken early, wash up and dress in their school uniforms. They would then be shuttled to St. John's for breakfast and morning devotion, followed by their classes. The group home students also had morning and afternoon recess and lunch at St. John's. Dinner was prepared and eaten at their group home each day in the late evening.
The group home students' curriculum was now thoroughly interwoven to St. John's accredited K-06 primary school. Pam and Jenny each taught specialty classes in the primary grades twice weekly. Pam also functioned as the School Dean and Student Advisor. However, she was not always on site. Jai served as the school counselor for all forty-two students.
Allison, '2', Kelly, and a few other elder St. John's youths were bi-weekly guest lecturers for the secondary grades and taught a few classes each month. However, they all had full-time jobs; therefore, they could only devote a limited number of hours to support the school curriculum.
The fifteen Group Home Students were now fully registered in the St. John's Primary School, which increased the total enrollment for the school program to sixty-five students. Pam had set a fairly strict limit of a maximum of seventy total students allowed in the current program due to the limited classroom space presently available. Once the total number of registered students reached seventy, St. John's needed to discuss the feasibility of their expanding the facilities.
All aspects of Jai's reorganizing the Regional JDC into a Group Home for juvenile girls were now functioning smoothly. Her reorganization of this previously inefficient JDC operation also saved the state's taxpayers approximately four hundred thousand dollars annually.
Pam strived to instill and maintain a home-like friendly atmosphere for group home residents; therefore, she created an evening reading and storytelling hour. The girls gathered in the hallways just outside their dorm room doors and were perched on nicely padded wood stools. These very comfortable stools had been designed and constructed by the St. John's maintenance team. Each doorway had a clear view of the second-floor stairs, where the designated reader sat in an elevated chair. Stories were selected by girls and teachers from the group home's reading room Children's books library. These storybooks were provided free from Pam's publisher, which she had negotiated in her editor consulting contract.
Books were read or stories told by Pam, Kelly, Jenny, '2', Jai, and a few other older St. John's youths. Pam prepared a monthly readers schedule, which occasionally included adults from their community. The evening reading hour was a favorite for the girls and readers. On many evenings several elder St. John's youth and adults sat in on the reading and story hour.
STEFF'S VISIT:
Jai contacted Steff, the waitress she and '2' befriended in the Jacksonville (JAX) Mall Hotel's upscale restaurant. This was where Jai and '2' officially became a couple, with Steff being the waitress on their final night in JAX. Jai had promised to contact Steff sometime following their Boston graduation, vacation travel to Attitash, and return to life in N. Florida.
Jai spoke with Steff, intending to plan a JAX visit to go shopping and have fun in the next few weeks, with her, '2', Jenny, and Pam driving over together. However, once they had exchanged a few greetings, Jai noticed Steff sounded a bit down as they spoke before Steff mentioned that she needed a break from JAX. Since Steff seemed a bit depressed and needed a change of scenery, Jai changed her plan and decided to invite Steff to visit them in N. Florida, where she could relax for a few days.
Jai mentioned this idea to Steff, who was very excited with the offer for her to visit them In N. Florida. Steff also said, May I bring my friend Marcie since the drive is a bit long?"
Jai clarified to Steff, "I need to check with '2', Jenny, and Pam before I can confirm her and Marcie's visit, although I do not feel it would be a problem. They have a five-bedroom home, so Steff and her friend could either share the smaller upstairs MBR-suite and bath or use two smaller bedrooms if they preferred.
Jai quickly spoke with '2', Pam and Jenny, with all of them being quite pleased to host the two friends from JAX for a long weekend. Jai reconfirmed with Steff that she and Marcie would visit them in N. Florida for four days starting next Friday.
She then informed their gate entry security station that two guests from JAX were coming for a four-day visit and scheduled to arrive on Friday afternoon. The security staff gave Jai a guest sticker for Steff to place in her car windshield.
Steff and her friend Marcie arrived late Friday morning and were greeted by the four girls. Jai took the lead with introductions for Marcie while also explaining how she and '2' met Steff eight months ago when they visited JAX. Since Steff had not previously met Pam or Jenny, Jai explained that Pam was '2's' elder sister and Jenny was a new friend they met in Boston, originally from Goshen, Indiana.
Steff and Marcie said hello to Jenny and Pam while they all walked into the house. Jenny noticed that Marcie seemed a little tense as Jai updated Steff, especially when Jai had casually grabbed and patted '2's' booty. Jenny suddenly felt that Marcie had just then understood their hosts were most likely two lesbian couples.
Once they all were inside, Jenny asked, Marcie would you please walk with me upstairs to see the bedrooms and bath areas." As they walked down the hall, "Jenny stopped and asked Marcie if she knows that Jai and '2', as well as Jenny and Pam, are lesbian couples?"
Marcie seemed very uncomfortable with this question and finally answered, "No, I did not know you were lesbian couples."
Marcie had been a bit nervous when they first arrived there, same as she would be anytime she first met several new people. However, Marcie relaxed for a bit as the four girls welcomed them with broad smiles. She later noticed a lot of close body contact among them, as Jai slapped '2's' booty and then massaged it for a few minutes. It was then that Marcie realized with complete clarity that Jai and '2' was definitely a lesbian couple. Marcie then observed how Pam seemed to look at Jenny with an unabashed longing and then realized that Jenny and Pam were also a lesbian couple.
Jenny responded that Marcie looked as if she were going to faint and was worried about her. Jenny also wondered if Marcie had previously met or socialized with lesbians or lesbian couples before. Jenny hoped that Marcie understood that they were the same as many other couples, just both of them females. Jenny explained to Marcie that she and Pam had met in Boston at their university graduation ceremony. Jenny had never dated anyone in her hometown of Goshen, Indiana, and had been alone most of the time since she was very young. Jenny was reared by grandparents in an unloving household and had never felt wanted or loved.
Jenny had decided to complete her final two years of graduate study on-site at the university's Boston campus. She had arrived at the campus hotel and had checked in early in the morning. Jenny rested for a few hours, then dressed and departed for a social event at another, larger downtown hotel.
